Structural analysis of the lipoteichoic acid anchor glycolipid: Comparison of methods for degradation of the glycerophosphate backbone polymer
2019
Shiraishi, Tsukasa | Yamamoto, Soh | Yokota, Shin-ichi
Acetic acid treatment [98% (v/v), 100 °C, 3 h] was proposed as a new method for degrading the glycerophosphate polymer moiety of Gram-positive bacterial lipoteichoic acid. We demonstrated that this method resulted in partial O-acetylation on the carbohydrate residues of the anchor glycolipid. Hence, the acetic acid treatment is not suitable for the chemical structural analysis of lipoteichoic acid.
